IM1201 Inventory Management Location File Maintenance

The Location File Maintenance application maintains a convenient table of inventory locations, i.e., places where inventory is stored, such as warehouses or stock­rooms. All receivings, issues, and transfers of inventory are made using the two‑character location number. The description is used on reports, or on entry screens, where verification of a location is required. All inventory locations used by your company must be entered into this file. The package will not allow receivings, tran­sfers, or issues from locations where the item is not kept in stock.
